Alexandra Park Harness Race 1
3 Pretty In Pink

The best version of 3 Pretty In Pink was on full display last time out as she delivered an impressive and telling victory. One of the better of her age group in the country and the winning should continue tonight in a small field. 
Selections: 3-6-2-5-1 

Alexandra Park Harness Race 2
3 Jeremiah

Lovely work first up from a spell by 3 Jeremiah to finish second behind Akuta. Only going to be better for that run and meeting a small field here tonight. Likely to punch forward and take a controlling position here and with natural progression should be hard to beat tonight. 
Selections: 3-2-1-4-5 

Alexandra Park Harness Race 3
5 And Remember Me

Talented young trotter back on a new campaign here, expecting some good things from 5 And Remember Me this time in. Will need to get everything right in what is a reasonably tidy field but with those should be right in the fight. 
Selections: 5-2-7-3-1 

Alexandra Park Harness Race 4
2 Confederate

TIP OF THE DAY
Two strong runs back from a spell for 2 Confederate and while both have been seconds, they've been improving runs too. Lands the ace draw which means markers all the way and no extra work and with that aid should be able to deliver a winning turn. 
Selections: 2-3-4-7-5 

Alexandra Park Harness Race 5
9 Queen Lizzy

Eye catching effort over the final 200m last week from 9 Queen Lizzy, there's an argument in fact that if she'd got clear and had a clear path she might have gone close. Building beautifully and while beholden to what unfolds in front of her early with a bit of luck can win this. 
Selections: 9-10-12-13-6 

Alexandra Park Harness Race 6
4 Georgie Best

Purdon Racing product 4 Georgie Best has turned in two strong runs to open the career and looks a pacer with a bit of a future. Gets a key draw advantage on many of the key rivals here tonight and might be keen to use it to full advantage too. 
Selections: 4-12-1-5-8 

Alexandra Park Harness Race 7
2 Castana

Model of consistency when it comes to these sorts of trotting races is 2 Castana and it's largely for that reason he's on top tonight. You know what you are going to get whereas some major rivals have a few tricks. Will be close to them turning in and give a great shout. 
Selections: 2-4-5-6-7

Alexandra Park Harness Race 8
3 Two Jules

A couple of handy runs in good races in the last two starts from 3 Two Jules and drops back in grade here a bit tonight which could be key to turning things around again. Nice draw and likely to land on the speed so will be well on the way. 
Selections: 3-2-4-7-8
